ENG219 — Fluid Mechanics
3 , 3 lecture periods 0 lab periods Introduction and fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics and fluid statics. Includes basic equations for a control volume, fluids in motion, inviscid flow, dimensional analysis, flow in pipes and ducts, and boundary layers. Describe a fluid flow situation using timelines, pathlines, streamlines, streaklines, and important dimensionless numbers such the Reynolds number and the Froude number, including classification of flow fields as inviscid/viscous, laminar/turbulent, internal/external, incompressible/compressible. Apply equations of fluid mechanics to the special case of static situations and/or rigid body motion, to fluid flow situations using a differential approach which includes applying Bernoulli and Euler’s equations for an incompressible inviscid flow field, and to open flow situations using control volume analysis.
